International Shipping

Based in Ireland, our preservation services are available for bouquets from weddings occuring within the European Union (EU) only. If getting married in the EU, but outside of Ireland, we recommend using an international courier such as EuroSender.com who can offer delivery within 1-3 days. More details on how to prepare your bouquet for shipping here.

International shipping of completed artwork is available to anywhere in Europe, the United States, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia and Canada.

If you have any specific questions on our shipping policies, please do not hesitate to contact us or leave a note on your order when booking in.

Elizabeth's stunning fresh bouquet of peonies and orchids shown above was shipped to us after her destination wedding in Vienna, Austria. The first image was taken when we recieved the bouquet to our studio. Ten weeks later we shipped her completed artwork along with two additional frames for her family back to her home in Canada.

How do I keep it fresh until its ready to be brought to you?

On the day of the wedding, when the bouquet is no longer needed, request that the venue place it in water, it in a cool place out of direct sunlight. This is particularly important if the weather or venue is hot as it will prevent the flowers from wilting. Please do not place in a fridge or freezer.

How do I prepare the bouquet for shipping?

Prepare a box big enough to comfortably fit the bouquet but not so big that it will allow too much movement and cause damage. Add soft stuffing (paper towels work brilliantly). Please avoid using plastic as it causes condensation.
Wet some paper towels and secure around the bottom of the bouquet stems only with a piece of twine or elastic band. Next wrap some tin foil around the damp tissue, to contain the moisture to stems. Please avoid getting the actual flower petals wet.
Don’t forget to ship any additional bits (medals, buttonholes, coins etc.) you want included in your piece.
Add your name or booking form with details of any additional pieces you've added.
Label the box as fragile and ship using express post.
Please address the box to: SIÓG Botanicals, 3 Market Square, Kildare Town, Co. Kildare, Ireland, R51 RX93

Wedding Flower Preservation: How it works

Step 1: Booking in & getting the bouquet to us
Pay a €100 deposit to secure your wedding date (deducted from final balance due after your wedding). We recommend getting the bouquet to us within 5 days of your wedding.
Step 2: Preservation (6-8 weeks)
On average, it takes 6-8 weeks for your flowers to completely dry and ensure all moisture is removed. The remaining balance (depends on style chosen) is due at this stage.

Step 3: Design (2 weeks)
We will use the blooms that preserved the best (usually about 70% of flowers received) to create a unique piece of art. We will send you images of your completed piece before framing.
Step 4: Framing (1-2 weeks)
Framing in a custom made Irish frame, solid wood & real glass.
